  Garmin smartwatches get Amazon Music

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 7:56pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I recently canceled Amazon Prime, as I found the subscription to be deficient -- especially at $129 per year. What was wrong with Prime? Many things, such as the video library being atrocious and the included Amazon Music service having a very small library (two million songs). Amazon makes you pony up even more money to have a larger music library (50 million songs). Not to mention, the Amazon Music interface is nothing to write home about -- overall, die hard music fans should look elsewhere, such as Apple Music or Spotify. But OK, let's say you are a casual music… [Continue Reading]

  Hacktivism in decline as it returns to its roots

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 4:27pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Hacktivism has its origins in small groups of people banding together to achieve common goals. In recent years, however, it's become associated with larger groups and even nation states using the guise of hacktivism for geopolitical purposes. A new report from the Insikt Group at Recorded Future though suggests that overall hacktivism is in decline. In the last ten years, the number of large-scale, international hacking operations most commonly associated with hacktivism has risen astronomically, only to fall off just as dramatically after 2015 and 2016. The report suggests this is areturn to normal, in which hacktivist groups are usually… [Continue Reading]

  Can digital identity verification save the sharing economy?

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 3:39pm CEST par Robert Prigge

  With online sharing services (such as Uber, Airbnb and TaskRabbit) expected to be utilized by 86.5 million people by 2021, it is evident that the sharing economy is now mainstream. However, this$335 billion market is challenged by trust and safety concerns. Without trust, the sharing economy will not reach its full potential, and the only way to establish this trust is through digital identity verification to ensure users and providers in the sharing economy are who they claim to be. Trust is required for the sharing economy to thrive -- the expectation that all parties are who they say they… [Continue Reading]

  What makes enterprises more efficient at patching vulnerabilities?

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 3:10pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The companies most effectively managing security vulnerabilities are those using a patch tool, relying on risk-based prioritization tools, and having multiple, specialized remediation teams that focus on specific sectors of a technology stack. A new report from cyber risk specialist Kenna Security, produced in conjunction with the Cyentia Institute, reveals that businesses with mature, well-funded vulnerability management programs are more likely to patch vulnerabilities faster. However, this doesn't necessarily mean the companies patch the riskiest vulnerabilities first. Companies using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to prioritize vulnerabilities for remediation tend to be slower in patching high-risk vulnerabilities. Also those… [Continue Reading]

  Debian Buster-based Netrunner 19.08 'Indigo' KDE-focused Linux distro is the perfect Windows replacement

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 3:07pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  GNOME is undeniably the best desktop environment, but understandably, not everyone likes it. Hey, that's OK. Some folks like Pepsi despite Coke being, like, 1,000 times better. Such is life. Thankfully, with Linux, there are plenty of environments from which to choose, such as Xfce, Cinnamon, and KDE to name a few. If you are a fan of KDE, or interested in sampling it for the first time, Netrunner is a Linux-based operating system you have to try. Quite frankly, this distro offers the greatest implementation of KDE Plasma. But that's not all -- it is one of the best… [Continue Reading]

  IObit Uninstaller 9 adds a powerful install monitor

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 12:58pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  Although we handle support for novice software customers, there’s one area that often leaves us perplexed. Why does software manage to leave so much data on your computer after you run the official uninstaller? It should be straightforward, right? You install software, uninstall and the entire process should remove the components, registry entries, startup modules and upgrade flashes. But often they fail. We still get warnings about software being out-of-date that we uninstalled months ago and even a tool from a well-known brand offering us an upgrade. Try and locate the source of these issues and they are often hidden… [Continue Reading]

  Do businesses rely too much on cloud computing?

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 12:04pm CEST par Jann Chambers

  The cloud computing industry has seen huge growth in the past nine years, considerably more so than what was anticipated. In 2018, as many as 96 percent of businesses utilized it in some way. In 2010,  the cloud computing industry was worth approximately $24.50 billion. Now, in 2019, it is worth over $100 billion, and it keeps on growing. It's predicted that by the time 2020 rolls around, the industry will be worth a massive $150 billion! The Reasons Behind the Cloud Computing Boom The reasons behind the extreme rise in the use of cloud computing are more than apparent… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook ups its privacy game (a bit) with new tool for users to control data shared by websites

  Publié: août 21, 2019, 11:46am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Facebook has launched a new privacy tool, giving users the chance to see and control the data the social network collects about them from other websites. Called Off-Facebook Activity, the new tool lets users restrict what is shared to Facebook by apps and websites.
